About 100 attended the Huron County historical meeting with the Bay- field society in charge of the meeting. President of the coun- ty organization, J. W. McLaren of Benmiller, presided. The story presented by Mr. Higgins was full of excitment and adventure, hardship and calamity and yet there was a great record of achievement. Mr. Higgins a past. president of the Middlesex historical Society -t told how the William Higgins family came to Canada from Ire- land in 1828, settling at Port Stanley and started some months later in the transporta- tion business. Years later the family purchased 38 acres of land west of Brucefield. He told i• of the family's years in London and how a cow had to be led from London to Brucefield when they took up farming there. A son Thomas took up farming on the sixth concession of Turn - berry township near Wingham. Mr. Higgins showed pictures of I the early methods of transpor- tation by sail boat, street scenes in London in the early days. The speaker was thanked by Dr. G. L. M. Smith of Bayfield. Early history in Canada was also narrated by Miss A. E. Harwell of the Customer Rela- tions department of the - Bell ' Telephone Company of Canada, with pictures and -sound. Early communications, sports- and the old vintage cars added colour to the story on the screen. F. A. Clift of Bayfield thanked Miss Barwell and also introduced Mr. Biggins. ' The .May meeting of the so- ciety will be held'in Blyth Pub- lic School on the 24th, with Kenneth Stewart, specialist in history at the Kingston College, as ,guest speaker.

We now know the U.S., for all its power and productivity, is today further away than ever from building a society which is truly great. The Great Society of Presi- 'dent JohnSon's dream has floun- dered on the selfishness and bigotry of Millions of Ameri- cans who were afraidj to face the challenge of sharing their comfort with their fellow citi- zens who lived in discomfort. This bigotry at home infect- ed American foreign •policy. It dragged the U.S. into a war jri Asia which history will proba- bly record as one of the most senseless and self-defeating ad- ventures ever undertaken by the white man in the Orient. By the time the President fin- ally realized his policies were sinking the country 'deeper in- to civil insurrection in the ghet- toes, it was too late. - The Great Society is dead. The widow of,Martin Luther King said, "'This is a -sick soci- ety, infestedr with racism and violence." • Because Americans were un- willing to finance a war on poverty at the same time they were waging a war in Asia, the U.S. lost domestic tranquility at the same time as it lost the battle of Vietnam, The U.S. could have financed both wars but its leaders lacked the polit- ical skill to rally its people to both causes. And when President Johnson finally sued for peace in Viet- nam (and this is, what he did, let there he no mistaking it), it was loo late to re -fuel the war' against poverty. The an- archists had taken over. So is talk of a "Just Society" in Canada either foolish or pretentious? Is it merely a cheap political catch -phrase, cal- culated to inspire faith in a new leader . . . faith which he has not yet earned. As Pierre Trudeau said in one of his last speeches as Jus- tice Minister, we all know that there are still ihjustices in Can- ada. It is therefore both proper a n a practical that Canada should chart its course to be- come a Just Society, with eco- nomic, social and legal justice for all Its citizens, everywhere In the land. • It is practical because Can- ada has the wealth to be able to afford both economic and social justice. It has the tradi- tion which makes anything less than full legal justice repug- nant to its citizens. The hang- ing tree never grew tall in Can- ada. Canada IS engaged fm, no reckless wars abroad.

Its major racial •division is being over: come by goodwill and leader- ship on both sides. Any Canadian over 35 or 40 years of age realizes that tre- mendous- changes have over- come this country during our lifetime. Change has been es- pecially great in the past 20 years. The Canada from which most of us have sprung was a Canada much poorer than the Canada we know today. It was poor in financial resourses, poor in artistic talent, poor in technical skills, poor in social conscience. It was poor in ev- erything but natural resources. We are today still rich in those natural resources, brit rich also in everything which makes a great nation, except perhaps,. sheer numbers. ' With this measure of richness Canada can indeed create a Just Society, whether we call it that or not, and regardless of who sits in the Prime Minister,s of- fice. Meanwhile, Pierre Trudeau, • the man, has captivated the na- tion with personality the like of whiph has not been seen be- fore in Canadian political life, His background is impeccable. He springs from a wealthy French -Scottish -Montreal family, has been educated at the finest universities in North. America and Europe, has travelled wide- ly; pursued a distinguished uni- versity career, acted as an eco- nomic consultant to the Cana- dian government in the early 1950's and was a front -rank spokesman for the democratic forces ' which challenged the Duplessis regime in Quebec.
